iCalendar

Upcoming Events and Activities (as reflected in the NYSA Calendar) are available to you from NorthshoreSoccer.org in an iCalendar (Internet Calendaring and Scheduling) format.

Calendar based information is available as a simple text file or as a Downloadable file with an .ICS extension (with Content-type and Content-Disposition headers).

Subscribe to the Calendar

To Subscribe, Right-Click the applicable format/hyperlink above, then "Copy Link Location" (for most Browsers), and use the resulting URL to Subscribe to the Calendar from your favorite Calendaring program (see WikiPedia for a partial list of programs supporting the iCalendar Standard).

We strongly encourage you to Subscribe to the iCalendar so that any changes to the information will be dynamically obtained in the future (under the control of your chosen Calendaring program). If you choose to utilize the iCalendar information in a different way, you are responsible for periodically updating or refreshing the information.
